Hi guys, I'm looking for your advice/opinion about my keybord, it is a G513 with blue switches and i've had it for a few months now, the issue started around 2 months after i purchased it around november and since then i've got a warranty replacement G Pro just so you know I really want  to fix it and is not an issue about getting a new keyboard from Logi, anyway, at first it randomly dissconected and it would take a while to reconnect on its own and sometimes a couple times of disconnect and reconnect for it to work properly, with time it got worst to me point of needing to reconnect it at least every 2 hours, now it is unusable bc every time I try to connect it my pc won't recognize it or it will work for a few second and then die, i believe it is a usb problem or something like that bc the usb hub works just fine, and when it is recognized the keyboard works no problem.

 

I've uploaded a video to YT showing how the keyboard behaves, when i apply a lot of preassure to the usb it seems to work (i know it's not a good idea to do that, it was only for testing), and when i let go it dies, so, do you think it can be fixed replacing the usb connection or something like that? or is it e-waste now?

I hope i explained everything good enough, english is my second lenguage and i don't usually write a lot, sorry for any misspells/mistakes, and thanks for any input!

It's either the USB port on your computer or the USB to the keyboard itself thats wearing out or somethings blocking the connection. I would try and clean it out a bit with air then if that doesn't work you could start trying other USB ports with other devices. That should tell you if its the keyboard USB connection or the port itself that's the problem. If the USB on the keyboard has for some reason worn out the only fix I can think of would be to splice a new one on, though it can be a lot more diffucult with USB ports since unlike something like ethernet cables which just require a crimper tool, a USB cable will need to be soldered on.

I've tried all that before (I forgot to mention it) maybe a good cleaning with isopropyl alcohol, but yeah i was thinking about splicing a new usb connection 😕
